I mentioned this show a few times in my previous posts. It is a French series about a group of previously dead people from the same town, who reappeared one day. Some of the people were dead for a short amount of time, others significantly longer. When they return, they are the same age as when they died and don’t remember what happened the day of their death, so it’s like nothing has changed for them. It was quite an interesting season. There were some things in the plot that weren’t explained, so I’m hoping that they cover that in season 2, which is supposed to be released later this year.
the confirmed
I failed to write about Jacob’s confirmation, which occurred last Sunday. The day started off at church, of course. Jake had a good showing of family members there and we all got to sit through an hour and fifty minute(!) service (which really isn’t that much longer than the normal service there, unfortunately).
After church, it started to rain, which didn’t make me happy because we were planning an outside party. It didn’t rain too long, though, so we still were able to hold the festivities outside. Brian set up a tent on the patio and we also have a big tree (and a table with an umbrella) that kept most of the rain off of everyone.
Despite the rain, it was a nice afternoon. I guess our next big bash will be graduation in four years!
fourteen
Alice turned the big 1-4 yesterday. In reality, we don’t know when her actual birthday is, but that’s the day we adopted her from the Humane Society of Somerset County, so that’s the date we use. Yesterday also marked her 8th anniversary of being our dog. We never would have thought that when we adopted an approximately six year old dog that we would have been lucky enough to have her for eight years. But, we are lucky, indeed.
birthday
I had my birthday off on Thursday. I did manage to squeeze in a couple of fun things in between housework and errands. Namely, letterpress and knitting. I received letterpress stuff for Christmas but hadn’t really had a chance to use it yet. I ordered some plates for it earlier in the week and made some “thank you” cards on Thursday. They came out pretty well–I was pleased with my efforts. I also took some time to knit and wrapped up a coaster set for Everyone Drinks. Brian grilled up some dinner and, among other things, I received a new chiminea that replaced my busted up one (and we gave it a work out last night).
the graduate
Last night, we went to our niece Erika’s high school graduation. Boy, did those 18 years go fast! I’m sure she will be a great success!
It’s hard to believe, but we will have another graduation in four short years.
